Answer: After the interaction Julian has with his mother at the end of "Everything that Rises Must Converge" by Flannery O' Conner, Julian finally sees his mother as a suffering fellow human and suffers along with her.
Julian's mother is an old south person who is trying to come to terms with the abolition of slavery and racial integration. She hopelessly tries to cling to her respected family name and social standing. It is only when Julien sees his mother dying on the pavement that he realizes that we should not support social inequalities.
